Aboyne Expedition day 4 (Thursday)

Another good day finishing at about 1530hrs. Everyone who got to the airfield flew ( Derek suffering with a cold missed out). Wave set up with a westerly wind over the lochs to Logie Coldstone. A tow to about 3500ft took you straight into the wave which was well signposted with wave cloud. Although weather was threatening far to the west a small cross country with Dave Bowtell of about 100k triangle was possible to the northwest and southwest up to 13000ft. Dave Paffett made 11000ft in the DG1000 and we both landed before the day closed in. So 4 days in a row of wave! Not bad going for the first week.
